Abel Motorsports is gearing up for an electrifying 2024 season with the addition of 21-year-old British racer, Josh Mason. This expansion brings Abel’s program to three entries, alongside seasoned driver Jacob Abel and incoming rookie Yuven Sundaramoorthy.
Mason’s entrance into the team follows a rich history in European junior formula racing, including eight Formula 2 starts last season and four victories in the Euroformula Open Championship over the past two years.
Reflecting on his journey, Mason, who also boasts three years of British F3 competition, expressed his eagerness for the upcoming challenges.
“I’m really looking forward to racing in Indy NXT by Firestone with Abel Motorsports this season,” Mason said. “It’s another chapter in my career, now racing in the States for the first time, so it’s going to be a new experience and challenge for me, but I can’t wait to get started and do it with Abel Motorsports.”
For Mason, the transition to North American racing marks a significant milestone. “I am really looking forward to experiencing the American racing culture and to get to experience the corkscrew at Laguna Seca, which looks mega,” he added. “Overall, my goal for 2024 is to work hard with Abel Motorsports to extract the best performance and succeed together.”
Team owner Bill Abel echoed Mason’s sentiments, expressing his excitement about the addition of Mason and the high expectations it brings. “We’re all very excited to have Josh Mason join us at Abel Motorsports for the 2024 Indy NXT by Firestone season,” Abel stated. “I expect Josh to be a contender in each of the races in the INDY NXT championship and, of course, to be in the championship hunt.”
The anticipation builds as Mason prepares to make his debut in Indy NXT machinery at the season-opening weekend on the Streets of St. Petersburg from March 8-10. It’s a momentous occasion that signals the beginning of a thrilling journey for Mason and Abel Motorsports alike.
